Equipment being used for power distribution in data centers is witnessing a major revolution in their power electronics that will improve their efficiency, size and heat dissipation metrics. This includes transformers, UPS, circuit breakers, panelboards, switchboards and lighting. Power electronics (diodes, MOSFETs, IGBTs, converters, inverters) are conducting electricity with a better material than Silicon. Because Silicon based devices are so mature and inexpensive, it might be hard to believe that any material could replace it. But Silicon Carbide (SiC) is doing it! The US Department of Energy says that Wide Bandgap SiC semiconductors will transform multiple industries resulting in billions of dollars in savings. This includes data centers!
